	<h2>Drudgery</h2>
	<p>
		Today was horrible.
		I thought last week was bad, but I really couldn&apos;t keep on task last night.
		I had to get some last-minute coursework done before going to bed, but since I couldn&apos;t keep my mind on the work, I didn&apos;t get it done, so I couldn&apos;t let myself go to sleep.
		I finally got it done, and ended up going to bed so late that I got up right before my shift.
		I felt horrid until my first break, and it turned out a lot of the problem was just that I was hungry, as there wasn&apos;t time to try to figure out breakfast.
		Once I got some food, I felt much better, but I still would&apos;ve done better with more rest.

		My discussion post for the day:
	</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>
			Of out the three reading assignments for the week, one doesn&apos;t mention $a[POP3], the second covers it very briefly and doesn&apos;t address this issue, and the third blocks me from reading it.
			As such, I make assumptions in this post based on my understanding of the nature of $a[POP3].
			Hopefully that third resource isn&apos;t one that was important to this topic.
		</p>
		<p>
			I&apos;d argue that unless there&apos;s a good reason <strong>*not*</strong> to standardise the mailbox format, it should be standardised.
			That would allow for much easier migration between email server applications.
			However ... use of $a[POP3] doesn&apos;t imply that any standard storage format has been used.
			$a[POP3] is a network protocol (The Saylor Foundation, n.d.).
			What this tells us is that it should standardise the format of the emails it carries <strong>*as transmitted across the network*</strong>.
			Different email formats on disk on the server side are irrelevant, provided that a $a[POP3] server implementation has been written that understands the specific on-disk format used.
			In other words, the on-disk format is entirely transparent to the client machine.
			All the client needs to know is how to understand the $a[POP3] transmission format and $a[POP3] commands.
			The client isn&apos;t affected by the storage format used by the server, and in fact has no way to find out what that storage format even is.
